Story

Leo was a celebrated surgeon until unapproved cheap drugs cost him his license. He rebuilt what was left as a free clinic in a Los Angeles slum, treating people who could not pay.

When he finally tries to collect what he is owed, the same patients accuse him of crimes he never committed, and a judge hands him thirty years. A medical group CEO named Isabella offers him a way out, but taking it means going after the pharmaceutical giant that buried the real drug trial. Leo has to trade his habit of forgiving everyone for a fight that could put him back in a cell.
